Thanks Spot - I'm glad I asked.

Well, firstly let me say how impressed I am with the speed at which you and 
Dennis have been working on this release - thanks as ever for all the hard 
work. I'd be very happy to be an early tester and provide feedback and bug 
reports where possible.

The U60 has dual hdds, and I usually clone the main drive to the second 
before trying anything quite this experimental: if the testing fails, I just 
clone the disk back and try again, learning from the previous mistakes.

I'm certainly not worried about ISOs or even gnome particularly, but does 
the broken .sparcv9 stuff include openssh? that would be a bit of a show 
stopper.
